Campbell Soup Sued Over ‘Heart Health’ Symbol

The lawsuit claims the soups' sodium content is too high

A New Jersey man is challenging labels that claim health benefits for some Campbell Soup (CPB) products in federal court.

Kerry O’Shea has sued the soup maker and the American Heart Associatin (AHA) over labels on more than 30 Campbell Healthy Request soups, which feature the AHA “Heart-Check Mark” seal, indicating that the contents are healthy. However, O’Shea contends that the soups’ sodium content is six times higher than AHA recommendations, Bloomberg notes.
